Overview

The PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 LPe16004 quad-port Gen 5 Fibre Channel (16GFC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) delivers up to 2.4 million I/O operations per second (IOPS)—twice the IOPS of other 16GFC HBAs, making it ideal for slot constrained servers and environments that need to maximize FC connectivity performance. It provides maximum IOPS for solid state disks (SSDs) and new multi-core processor servers. The LPe16004 HBA cuts response times by more than half and delivers 4x more IOPS per watt compared to 8GFC HBAs, making it the clear choice for the most demanding virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. Its advanced management functionality can shave days off installing and managing adapters. The LightPulse® LPe16004 features the Emulex bullet-proof driver-stack, backward compatibility to 4GFC and 8GFC HBAs and rock-solid reliability with a heritage that spans back to the first generation of Fibre Channel to today’s Gen 5 Fibre Channel HBAs.

The unique 4th Generation Service Level Interface (SLI™) allows use of a common driver across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given operating system (OS) platform. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment.

Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Efficiency

The Emulex OneCommand® Manager enterprise-class management application features a multi-protocol, cross-platform architecture, that provides centralized management of all adapters provided by Emulex. This enables IT administrators to manage network connectivity with one tool for maximum efficiency.

Common driver model, allows a single driver tosupport all Emulex HBAs on a given OS

Key Benefits

Maximum performance—up to 2.4 million IOPS per adapter to support larger server virtualization deployments and scalable cloud initiatives, as well as performance to match new multi-core processors, SSDs and faster PCIe 3.0 server host bus architectures

Provides FC connectivity for slot constrained server environments

Delivers quad-channel connectivity for 16GFC target applications

Improves IT staff productivity through simplified deployment and management

Reduces the number of cards, cables and PCIe slots required

Exceptional performance per watt and price/ performance ratios

Integrates seamlessly into existing SANs

Allows application of SAN best practices, tools and processes with virtual server deployments

Assures data availability and data integrity

Provides highest FC performance within the PCIe power specification

Performance Features

Doubling the maximum FC link rate from 8GFC to 16GFC and enhanced virtualization capabilities, help support IT “green” initiatives.

Advanced diagnostic features, such as adapter port beaconing and adapter statistics, help optimize management and network performance, while the environmental monitoring feature helps to maintain optimum host-to-fabric connections. In addition to the GUI interface, management functions can also be performed via a scriptable Command Line Interface (CLI) as well as a web browser.

Emulex’s management instrumentation complies to open management standards, such as SMI-S and common HBA API support, which enables seamless upward integration into enterprise storage and server management solutions.

Technical Specification

General

The LPe16000 series is powered by two XE201 converged fabric controllers and consists of an eight-lane (x8) PCIe 3.0 bus (backward compatibility to PCIe 2.0 supported). The XE201 controller is capable of Fibre Channel, and for certain adapters, Ethernet. Each of the XE201 controllers is capable of providing up to 1.2 million IOPS on a single-port, delivering the highest single-port IOPS performance in the industry.

Ironnetworks builds turnkey converged cloud infrastructure platforms on industry-standard hardware that are optimized for faster, easier and more reliable hybrid cloud deployments. These cloud platforms make cost effective and scalable solutions for enterprises and service providers building both private clouds for their own internal use, and public clouds for offering hosted cloud services.
